Darkness was a demon that I came to know,Locked up in a world without a key.Taking me to places that I never meant to go,I'm afraid it's been makin' meA little bit crazy.Now I'm the first to tell You that I need to change.I can see it clearly in my mind.Cleaning out the dusty rooms that remain,I can leave those burdens far behind.A different man.Chorus:Openin' up my heartKnowin' that You'll be there.Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories,Never again to bear.Take this sinner's prayer. Take this sinner's prayer.Where I've been, I tell You, You don't want to be.Images I've fought to leave behind.Through it all there is one thing I can see,A stronger hand is lifting me on high.Take me Father.Repeat chorusTake me now,Hear my cry.Come and do what You do.Makin' me new to start again.Repeat chorus
